I think we’re in peak season right now here in NE Ohio. I was just noticing all the color today when I was out and about. I love to paint fall landscapes.

I plan to travel Thursday to a lake about 50 miles north where all the fall foliage is at peak color.

I hope you'll post one of your fall paintings. Please message me if you do; otherwise I might miss it.

And the trees are finally starting to show some good color. I wish I had the free time to go out to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, because it's absolutely beautiful this time of year.

The maples are nearing peak color but most of the other trees are just beginning to turn.

But in towns there's a variety. It's just flaming color out here right now too.

For me, leaves turn from alive to dead.

Of course I'm not really color "blind," I just don't see red and green well, especially red. I can see that leaves are green. Usually, I see leaves turning brown before people start talking about the leaves turning.

Such brilliant colors! I imagine that it's even better in person.

Thank you!
